Songs that mention flowers, kinds of flowers and blooms etc.

Before anyone complains: Holly is a flowering plant that blooms. So it fits the criteria. :p

We Need a Little Christmas

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
 

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

 
What a Wonderful World
Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.



I also love this instrumental version:

 
(I wish I was old enough to experience the groovy Summer of Love.)
I was old enough but went there one year later, 1968. Visited the Haight neighborhood, Golden Gate Park and an evening at the Fillmore, or maybe it was the Fillmore West. I know it was crowded and had dizzying psychedelic images flowing on the walls all night, very disorienting. Could not imagine doing any of that today, ha.
 
Wildflowers--Petty


Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray, on the Jimmy Fallon show,
a few days after Petty's death, singing a tribute, Wallflowers. I am far from a
Miley fan but when I saw this originally on TV when she sang it, I thought it was wonderful.

 

Dead Flowers
Miranda Lambert
I feel like the flowers in this vase
He just brought them home one day,
"Ain't that beautiful" he said
They've been here in the kitchen
And the water's turning grey
They're sitting in the vase
But now they're dead
I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house on Christmas day
But now it's January and the
Bulbs have all burned out
But still they hang
Like dead flowers
He ain't feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
And I'm living in a hurricane
All he can say is,
"Man, ain't it such a nice day"
Yeah
I feel like the tires on this car
You said they won't go far
But we're still rolling
I look in the rear view and
I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights,
And it ain't glowing
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers
He ain't feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
I'm driving through a hurricane
All he can say is,
"Man, ain't it such a nice day"
Hey I guess it'll just go to waste
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers
 
The Chicks
"Cowboy Take Me Away"

I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly

I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds good to me I said

Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you

I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall

I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smile

Oh it sounds good to me
Yes it sounds so good to me

Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you

I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
Oh it sounds so good to me

Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you
Closer to you
Cowboy take me away
Closer to you
 
Listen to the Flower People- Spinal Tap. I also like their earlier work, Gimme Some Money- but it didn't fit the thread.
